In its new exhibition, Mapping America’s Road from Revolution to Independence, the New-York Historical Society will showcase the dramatic geographic, political, and economic changes to the nation before, during, and after the Revolutionary War. Visitors will explore the nation’s history through rarely-displayed hand-drawn and engraved maps and manuscripts. Highlights will include John Jay’s copy of a John Mitchell map with hand-drawn proposed boundaries negotiated during the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolution. The exhibit opens on November 3 and runs until March 11, 2018. See the New York Historical Society’s website for more details.
